The Night We Met cover Shannon King

LyricsI am not the only traveler

Who has not repaid his debt

I've been searching for a trail to follow again

Take me back to the night we met

And then I can tell myself

What the hell I'm supposed to do

And then I can tell myself

Not to ride along with you

I had all and then most of you

Some and now none of you

Take me back to the night we met

I don't know what I'm supposed to do

Haunted by the ghost of you

Oh, take me back to the night we met

When the night was full of terrors

And your eyes were filled with tears

When you had not touched me yet

Oh, take me back to the night we met

I had all and then most of you

Some and now none of you

Take me back to the night we met

I don't know what I'm supposed to do

Haunted by the ghost of you

Take me back to the night we met

About Lord Huron: "Lord Huron is an American indie folk band based in Los Angeles. The group's debut album, Lonesome Dreams, was released in 2012 on Iamsound in the US and Play It Again Sam on January 13 in the UK and Ireland.[2][3][4][5][6] The band's third album, Vide Noir, was released on April 20, 2018.[7]

Founding member Ben Schneider began writing music in his hometown of Lansing, Michigan. Schneider went on to study visual arts at the University of Michigan and finished his degree in France, before moving to New York City where he worked for an artist.[9] In 2005, Schneider moved to Los Angeles. In 2010, Schneider formed Lord Huron as a solo project, recording his first few EPs entirely on his own and steadily adding members to help play in live shows.[10] The band's name was inspired by Lake Huron, the lake which Schneider grew up visiting;[9] he spent evenings at the lake playing music around the campfire.[9]

Lonesome Dreams (2012–2013)

Lord Huron's first full-length album, Lonesome Dreams, was released on October 9, 2012.[11] It debuted at No. 5 on Billboard's Heatseekers Albums chart.[12]

With the release of Lonesome Dreams, the band also slowly released a series of music videos, all filmed in a western '70s style, which Schneider says was the focal point and narrative for the album. “We had this fun idea that Lonesome Dreams was kind of this series of old adventure tales.” In an interview, Schneider alluded to influence from a specific work, called "The Collected Works of Billy the Kid: Left-Handed Poems".[13] "It's sort of a collection of pulp fiction and we wanted the videos to kind of reflect that and have that same feel and style,” Schneider said during another interview. They also decided to release a theatrical version of the videos.[14]

Strange Trails (2014–2017)

The band released their second album, Strange Trails, on April 6, 2015, in the United Kingdom and April 7, 2015, in the United States.

Vide Noir (2018–present)

In January 2018, several short videos released on Lord Huron's official Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter accounts with short clips of audio led to speculation of an upcoming album release.[7] The album was officially announced to be the band's third album, Vide Noir, and was released on April 20, 2018.[17]
